Hi,

With the advent of this new section (AWESOME! :D), I thought it would be cool to list a few theming sites for Linux.

I'll list the ones I know of:

http://themes.freshmeat.net - themes for almost every wm

http://www.gooeylinux.org - mainly centered around gnome and the osx look

http://www.kde-look.org - themes for kde

http://art.gnome.org - themes for gnome

http://www.themedepot.org - themes for many wms

I guess you are looking for gkrellm.

Gentoo sais:

*  app-admin/gkrellm

      Latest version available: 2.2.1

      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]      Size of downloaded files: 648 kB

      Homepage:    http://www.gkrellm.net/

      Description: Single process stack of various system monitors

      License:    GPL-2

if you don't mean that you might want to look

at the gnome capplets, xfce-plugins. ( if you want them in the bottom bar or where ever your gnome/xfce bar is located )

or gdesklets, karamba, superkaramba ( if you want the stats on the desktop, like OSX's dashboard )

kindest regards,

Moritz "neofeed" Angermann

FVWM Beginner's Guide

Warning: Not for the faint of heart!

While the title suggests otherwise, .fvwm2rc's can take a while to get used to. The sample code provided will give you a useable (but ugly) desktop. Make sure you read the documentation thoroughly before attempting to create your own theme from scratch. It's better to ignore the snippets that you've obtained throughout the years, and to actually understand the inner workings of Fvwm.

Have fun!

As all of you have noticed, Gooeylinux has been dead. Mike and I have become very busy in recent months, and have had neither the time nor the motivation to continue running the forum. Mike started this site as a haven for linux users from other communities, and I feel that we've done that. But there are at this point many other places one can turn to for Linux GUI customization, and forums need a very strong body of members contributing to survive. Gooeylinux was a fun, but failed experiment.

Thank you to everyone who helped with the site. We met lots of interesting people, and I hope we helped some people as well. The IRC channel (#gooeylinux - irc.freenode.net) will stay open, so feel free to join us there. Also, all the subprojects of gooeylinux will remain available. Archives of the forum will appear shortly. If you have any comments/questions, email me.

Tinkering and hacking others themes is necessary to really get it. Docs are very limited. So get stuff and hack! That's what I did.

you need images for pixmap themes and practice?

the .wba extension is seen as a zip type by file-roller ;)

Errors

Whether gtk, metacity, or icon theming, errors may or may not be printed in vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) depending on the distro you use. Mandrake used to, but doesn't seem to anymore. Debian's and Fedora do. You can easily get the errors by running

gnome-theme-manager

in an X terminal (Gnome Terminal, Aterm, Eterm, Xterm, rxvt etc....).

Metacity

Metacity has a nice tool. The

metacity-theme-viewer

Run it from an X terminal;

metacity-theme-viewer name_of_metacity_theme

[example]metacity-theme-viewer d3a

and you can find out how fast it loads and errors pointing to any problems with loading the theme. It opens a gui to show you all the different aspects of the theme.

Scalable Vector Graphics

This is what I'm currently interested in and researching. Instead of pixmap, you can make svg/gtk and metacity themes, and of course icon themes.

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.
    • Hello, Installed here without issue. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
